Dublin

No visit to Dublin is complete without a tour of the Guinness Storehouse, where you can sample some Guinness, find out about its history, purchase souvenirs and enjoy panoramic views of the city. Dublin is also home to several great museums, though two of the best are arguably the National Gallery of Ireland, which houses a huge collection of European art, and the National Museum of Ireland, which will take you on an archaeological tour of the past.

Manchester

Manchester is a lively modern city which is a perfect blend of old and new. You will find plenty of evidence of its industrial past as you wander around. Start in the city centre to combine a shopping trip at the old Corn Exchange with a visit to Manchester Art Gallery. Football fans should be sure to visit the iconic National Football Museum which has become hugely popular since its opening. The area around Manchester's docks, Salford Quays, is being rapidly developed and is well worth a visit.
